One of the biggest myths in sports is that the game isn’t decided on a spreadsheet.

Fact: the standings are kept on a spreadsheet.

Here are 4 plots that look at teams tendency to score or allow goals just after a power play (either their own or one they fought off)

Can goals scored just after the conclusion of a power play tell us anything?

Are they indicative of momentum from the power play carrying over?

What do you think?
